Suzette retreated to the third floor of the tavern before anything else happened or someone needed to talk to them, with Ozzy following. She briefly thought of going upstairs to their bed, went to the dining room instead. If she took a nap, it wasn’t going to be a short one, and she had the guild and thief to deal with first. She slumped forward, head on the table. "Ozzy dear, the next time you invite me out for some fun and games, butcher style, I'm going to remember this day, and maybe just hide in…-

So much gold! The bag that McTeeth found sitting in the fourth-floor room of the tavern turned out to have a treasure trove inside. He'd never imagined anyone in this little town could have so much! Obviously, they stole it from someone. No one in this town deserved to have so much money. He'd better take it and try to find the rightful owner. It was the right thing to do! He kept grabbing handful after handful, expecting the bottom of the bag to be filled with copper or silver, but it was all gold! And…

As Ozzy pulled ham after ham out of his bag and piled them near the pit, Makken tried not to stare. By his estimate the large leather duffle bag could a hold at most a half dozen of the fifty-pound hog legs that were being taken from the bag. Ozzy made a pile of 20 of them, then stacked 10 massive pork bellies next to them. Makken hadn't had enough to drink for that to make sense at all and he smelled a good story about that bag. For now, he wanted the story about the pigs! "Where the hell did you run…

There was a minor commotion at the fountain as three adventurers logged back into the game. Libby, Dot, and Charlene had been attempting to conquer the Bunny Barrow with mixed success for a couple of weekends. They'd gotten close late on Saturday night, but failed on the final boss. After the last of their group died, they left the game, making plans to come back early the next weekend. Logging back in, they found that there were consequences to losing that last fight. "Holy Shit! Those are cute Charly,…

Baron William of Gadobhra was startled by a glowing blue box. He wondered how long it took until you were used to the damn things. Your workers have proved themselves against a Hunters Challenge, and constructed a Hallowed Hunters Shrine of the Goddess Artemis. This shrine acts as a meeting place for Hunters in the Beast Woods and can give quests and training, similar to a Guild Hall, as well as being a Holy Place for Priests, Druids, and Woodland Warriors who venerate or follow Artemis of the…

Monstrous level 8 Boss Spewing fire from the front end and noxious gases from the rear, the huge sow bore down on Ozzy like a freight train. He was finding it hard to stand upright, and was seeing double. One huge sow was bad enough, two was going to be more than he could handle! Concentrating, he grounded the butt end of his weapon and aimed between the two images, hoping they merged at some point. Runt was shouting something, but he couldn't make out the words. He was just barely aware of Ben helping…

Gristle was so happy with his new foot. He could wiggle his toes! The healer had insisted that he sit back and relax for a few hours and not walk on it, but really, it already felt better. And it looked better! The rest of his skin was a dark red, seamed with old scars and still recovering from his emergency wake up. But the newly healed foot was pink and smooth. Maybe he should break the other foot? The adventurers had left him here in a comfortable spot with a cool drink and several tasty muffins. He…

A group of carefree travelers, picnic basket in hand, made their way up the road from Sedgewick to Gadobhra. Sedgewick hadn't seemed to want to let them go. One thing after another had delayed them until it was after sunset when they set out, and long shadows stretched from the tall, pointed rooftops of the village. First, several adventurers were trying to turn one more set of rabbits in to Runt as he locked the door to the shop. They'd done the quest three times that day already. Runt pointed to the…

Zephyr stomped her foot, threw up her hands and half yelled, "Will you just go have some fun already. I have this handled." Suzette looked unsure, "I don't doubt you. It's just that we've had quite a few new adventurers come into town, and some other odd people. I'd feel terrible if a fight broke out or something like that." Zephyr filled two large flagons of Blud Dark and handed them over to a smiling barbarian and a duelist in grey, "That's silly. I have 5-10 workers in here at any one time who would…
